5 Reasons Why Sammy’s is the Best Happy Hour in San Diego

Not all happy hours are created equal. It’s certainly not hard to find a solid happy hour in San Diego, but it’s also not hard to find one that can you leave you feeling uninspired.

Happy hour is as much an art form as it is a promotion. It’s not just about cheap drinks and loud laughs; you want that perfect atmosphere—upbeat but not out of control. You need top-notch appetizers, great company and quality service. That’s why—with all due respect to San Diego’s fantastic food scene—we’re confident that Sammy’s is the best happy hour in town. Here are five reasons to back up our bold claim:

There’s Something on the Menu for Everyone

Whether you’re an old-fashioned pizza fanatic or an aficionado of international cuisine, Sammy’s has that perfect dish that will catch your eye and satisfy your taste buds. Where else will you find hummus, edamame, burgers, artisan pizza creations, tacos and a full lineup of salads all on the same menu? We also make a conscious effort to provide ample vegetarian and gluten-free options.

Half-Priced Tapas

You can travel the world in an hour and on the cheap by taking advantage of our half-priced tapas during happy hour. From Thai Chicken Satays to a Mediterranean Dip Sampler made for sharing, the tapas menu is filled with unique dishes and fresh, nutritionally sound ingredients. Your group can easily piece together a full meal from these appetizers alone.

A Great Place for Hosting

Sammy’s Happy Hour lends itself extremely well to larger groups. Team building, book club, birthdays, and guys’ or girls’ night out—whatever the occasion may be, you can take the fun up a notch by bringing your group to Sammy’s. Pizza is, after all, the go-to gathering food. And our pizzas are woodfired for that perfect crispy crust that so many pizza makers struggle to achieve.

Drinks

Do we need to say more here? Sammy’s bar is stocked with a fantastic selection of beer and wine, both of which are $2 off during happy hour. Prefer a cocktail instead? You’re still in the right place; our bartenders are masters of mixology ready to shake or stir up your favorite concoction.

Impeccable Service

The wild card to an enjoyable happy hour is service. Bars can get crowded, and waiting in line 20 minutes for a drink is no fun. Sammy’s is a family restaurant with a happy hour built into our offerings, as opposed to a spot that relies mostly on drink specials to draw customers. That means we’ve established our reputation on great service, and you can expect just that when you join us here for happy hour.

So, what are you waiting for? Come see us at Sammy’s for the best happy hour in all of San Diego!
